And if it’s bad enough to where tanks or healers are out dpsing a DPS - I have seen a SMN be outpaced by a Gunbreaker in Extreme - then kicking is the best solution.
So this has always bugged me. People make the claim (a lot!) that it's easy to tell if someone's not pulling their weight. But I've never understood this. I know that when I'm playing, I'm not paying careful enough attention to what other people are doing to know if they're doing something fundamentally wrong or not. A healer not healing or a tank not tanking would be about the extent I'm able to monitor other people while still playing my own character. Certainly I could never watch, say, a SMN or something to have any idea if they're doing their rotation properly in savage, ultimate, or extreme trials. There's no possibility of that.
